Abstract

The concept of remission in asthma has recently become a important area of increasing interest in respiratory medicine, reflecting a shift from traditional symptom control toward more advanced treat-ment goals. Remission in asthma is generally defined by several clinical and functional parameters, including well-controlled symptoms, absence of exacerbations, no requirement for systemic cortico-steroids, and preserved pulmonary function. For off-treatment remission, the definition also includes being medication-free for at least 12 months.
